KIE’s Travel Trade Show Highlights Agency’s Rapid Growth to Market Destinations beyond Japan.
(TRAVPR.COM) U.S.A. - June 14th, 2016 - New York, NY.........KIE/Kintetsu International held its 7th annual KIE Travel Showcase, Thursday, June 9th, at the beautifully renovated NOVOTEL Hotel, in midtown Manhattan. In total, over 50 of KIE’s preferred travel partners attended; including 8 major airlines, 40 major hotel brands, and a major car rental company. All of their preferred suppliers exhibited their products and services to a record number of 200 KIE clients who attended this event.
KIE’s Travel Showcase gives participating preferred travel vendors an opportunity to promote their products and services directly to Kintetsu clients. This one of a kind forum allows an exchange of information between their preferred vendors and clients.
According to Assistant General Manager, Bill Sarcona, “The originality of this event is all due to the concept. By bringing together our preferred suppliers and our clients, a wealth of information is exchanged, allowing the customer to fully understand how using KIE will reduce their travel costs, as well as the time associated with managing their travel program.”
KIE clients were also given an opportunity to tour the beautifully renovated NOVOTEL hotel, which recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation. KIE’s travel showcase took over their elegant SUPERNOVA restaurant and bar, overlooking Times Square. Finally, KIE clients also enjoyed a special raffle ceremony, where many exciting prizes were awarded.
KIE is already preparing for next year’s showcase which promises to be even bigger than the record breaking attendance and turn out of this year’s event.
